Eh blue. It's a hop, skip and jump
allan wells only won because the yanks didnt turn up though but fair play to him hes an olympic champion cant take that away from him
If you're talking about great British Olympians, graham obree has to be in there.
Builds his own bike and wins gold with it. This was when British cycling was crap, no where near where it is today.

I've never understood the triple jump, i.e. how did it ever come about?
Long jump, high jump, fair enough. But why would anyone ever come up of an idea for a jump that involves two little mini-jumps first?
----------------------------
I've always wondered that too. I think maybe a hop, step and jump are the only three ways you can possibly move forward using only your legs. So it incorporates all of those.
JPB's list:
1. Daley Thompson
2. Daley Thompson
3. Daley Thompson
4. Daley Thompson
5. Daley Thompson
6. Daley Thompson
7. Daley Thompson
8. Eddie the Eagle
9. Daley Thompson
10. Daley Thompson
But who hops while they're running
The skip and jump parts I can fathom, but hopping?
Rave
Just since about 1980 mate.
Ive come up with this for my draft top 10 :
1.Ian Botham
2.Brad Wiggins
3.Daley Thompson
4.Joe calzaghe
5.Seb coe
6.Stephen Hendry
7.Gazza
8.Nick Faldo
9.Lennox lewis
10.Tim Henman
I always hating doing the triple jump in school.
Sally Gunnell was bloody fantastic, but not in the looks department
No Chris Hoy jpb.
Even though he's our most successful olympian, and could also go on to be our most decorated one too
No Redgrave either? I'm aware you don't like him but you can't exclude him if you include Henman.
11.Steve cram
12.Jonathon Edwards
13.Sally Gunnell
14. Steve Backley
15. Steve Redgrave
16. Steven Gerrard
17. David Gower
18. Frank Bruno
19. Bryan Robson
20. Steve Ovett
At least David Beckham never made it in
Henman? really?
And Gazza will always, sadly, who never quite fulfilled their potential.
1.brad wiggins
2. steve redgrave
3. daley thompson
4.seb coe
5. chris hoy
6. linford christie
7. kelly holmes
8. ben ainsley
9. phil taylor
10. johnathan adwards
Didn't Christie get caught doping?
Terry didn't know which kit he needed to wear to get on the list.
i dont personally believe he knowingly took a banned substance, just my opinion
the thing with me for henman is that he almost singlehandedly revived britsh tennis, a major world sport which britain used to be great at. he reminded us we could reach the top and was miles ahead of his peers. he provided massive entertainment in some amazing matches and was a sporting icon.
